Hdi head bolts

[Paul_13]

I've just been to 4 different motor factors and they all seem head bolts without the washers 

Elring ones are wrong 

Any body come across this before?

The one on the left is the one I removed, the one on the right without the washer is the new one and the same as the ones from all the motor factors.

Surely they're not right!

We get this a lot at work the ones on the right will work fine but damage the ally on the head ever so slightly. A lot of aftermarket stuff does this now adays as it saves money on production. At least thing is what im told.
I find cv boot grease on the "washer" surface limits the amount of damge to most of the time nothing

Ok cheers, I can't find the right ones unless I buy O. E which I can't get until Tuesday

Big thanks to Powerandtorque for looking on service box, but the head bolts have been superceded (sp?) to the newer type
